(00:21:20) Strategies to get your patients to help you

(00:25:07) Closing

Welcome back to part two of our discussion about pain science fails! How do you handle it when patients become more interested in pain science? Or worse yet, LESS interested? And what strategies can you use to get your patients to help you help themselves? We talk about all this and more. Thanks for showing up!

(00:30:23) Wrap Up

Does pain neuroscience education ever go wrong? Of course! In this episode (part one of TWO on this topic), we discuss times when we failed to get it right with our patients. What went wrong? What signals did you miss? What would you do differently? All of this and more in this episode. Thanks for coming back! We hope you enjoy it.

(00:01:32) Signs You Can Open the Paradigm

(00:12:21) How Often Are You Implicit vs Explicit?

(00:23:24) What Can People Learn From This Conversation?

(00:28:36) Closing

Continuing our conversation from our last episode, we delve a little deeper into the implicit vs explicit approach to pain science. From looking for signs that you can be a little more explicit, to how often our providers are explicit vs implicit, we cover more of how we decide on an approach and hopefully provide you with some context around those decisions. Thanks for coming back! We're always glad to have you join us.

(00:00:00) Intro

(00:01:10) Open (Explicit) vs Closed (Implicit) Paradigm

(00:05:23) How do you decide which approach to use?

(00:10:04) Why would you pivot from explicit to implicit?

(00:18:04) Which approach is easier?

(00:23:57) What does an implicit (closed) approach look like?

(00:30:04) Recap

How do you decide whether to talk about pain neuroscience? Or do you just keep it in the background and do it without explaining it to the patient? In this episde, we discuss an open paradigm (explicit) vs a closed (paradigm). How do you decide which to use? How would you pivot if you make the wrong choice? Which approach is easier? In part one of this two-part topic, we cover these topics and more. Thanks for finding your way back to us!
